This actually looks like a good candidate for developing a Wearable
Mosaic Display like the Zyberwear one mentioned on the list a while
back. The built in head tracker would be especially convenient for
this sort of application.

I've been looking for something like this, in about this price range,
since I finished Gibson's latest book, Spook Country. In Spook
Country, there are virtual locative art pieces that you can only see
if you have the proper software and hardware, including a GPS-enabled
computer and wearable display.
